15 years agotun: Limit amount of queued packets per device
Herbert Xu [Fri, 6 Feb 2009 05:25:32 +0000 (21:25 -0800)] 
tun: Limit amount of queued packets per device

Unlike a normal socket path, the tuntap device send path does
not have any accounting.  This means that the user-space sender
may be able to pin down arbitrary amounts of kernel memory by
continuing to send data to an end-point that is congested.

Even when this isn't an issue because of limited queueing at
most end points, this can also be a problem because its only
response to congestion is packet loss.  That is, when those
local queues at the end-point fills up, the tuntap device will
start wasting system time because it will continue to send
data there which simply gets dropped straight away.

Of course one could argue that everybody should do congestion
control end-to-end, unfortunately there are people in this world
still hooked on UDP, and they don't appear to be going away
anywhere fast.  In fact, we've always helped them by performing
accounting in our UDP code, the sole purpose of which is to
provide congestion feedback other than through packet loss.

This patch attempts to apply the same bandaid to the tuntap device.
It creates a pseudo-socket object which is used to account our
packets just as a normal socket does for UDP.  Of course things
are a little complex because we're actually reinjecting traffic
back into the stack rather than out of the stack.

The stack complexities however should have been resolved by preceding
patches.  So this one can simply start using skb_set_owner_w.

For now the accounting is essentially disabled by default for
backwards compatibility.  In particular, we set the cap to INT_MAX.
This is so that existing applications don't get confused by the
sudden arrival EAGAIN errors.

In future we may wish (or be forced to) do this by default.

fact, this code has already been duplicated in the tun driver.

Now that we need accounting in the tun driver, we can in fact
use this function as is.  So this patch marks it for export again.

15 years agonet: Partially allow skb destructors to be used on receive path
Herbert Xu [Thu, 5 Feb 2009 00:55:27 +0000 (16:55 -0800)] 
net: Partially allow skb destructors to be used on receive path

As it currently stands, skb destructors are forbidden on the
receive path because the protocol end-points will overwrite
any existing destructor with their own.

This is the reason why we have to call skb_orphan in the loopback
driver before we reinject the packet back into the stack, thus
creating a period during which loopback traffic isn't charged
to any socket.

With virtualisation, we have a similar problem in that traffic
is reinjected into the stack without being associated with any
socket entity, thus providing no natural congestion push-back
for those poor folks still stuck with UDP.

Now had we been consistent in telling them that UDP simply has
no congestion feedback, I could just fob them off.  Unfortunately,
we appear to have gone to some length in catering for this on
the standard UDP path, with skb/socket accounting so that has
created a very unhealthy dependency.

Alas habits are difficult to break out of, so we may just have
to allow skb destructors on the receive path.

It turns out that making skb destructors useable on the receive path
isn't as easy as it seems.  For instance, simply adding skb_orphan
to skb_set_owner_r isn't enough.  This is because we assume all
over the IP stack that skb->sk is an IP socket if present.

The new transparent proxy code goes one step further and assumes
that skb->sk is the receiving socket if present.

Now all of this can be dealt with by adding simple checks such
as only treating skb->sk as an IP socket if skb->sk->sk_family
matches.  However, it turns out that for bridging at least we
don't need to do all of this work.

This is of interest because most virtualisation setups use bridging
so we don't actually go through the IP stack on the host (with
the exception of our old nemesis the bridge netfilter, but that's
easily taken care of).

So this patch simply adds skb_orphan to the point just before we
enter the IP stack, but after we've gone through the bridge on the
receive path.  It also adds an skb_orphan to the one place in
netfilter that touches skb->sk/skb->destructor, that is, tproxy.

One word of caution, because of the internal code structure, anyone
wishing to deploy this must use skb_set_owner_w as opposed to
skb_set_owner_r since many functions that create a new skb from
an existing one will invoke skb_set_owner_w on the new skb.

Commit 05fe478dd04e02fa230c305ab9b5616669821dd3 introduced some
@wbc->nr_to_write breakage.

It made the following changes:
 1. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write instead of nr_to_write
 2. Decrement wbc->nr_to_write _only_ if wbc->sync_mode == WB_SYNC_NONE
 3. If synced nr_to_write pages, stop only if if wbc->sync_mode ==
    WB_SYNC_NONE, otherwise keep going.

However, according to the commit message, the intention was to only make
change 3.  Change 1 is a bug.  Change 2 does not seem to be necessary,
and it breaks UBIFS expectations, so if needed, it should be done
separately later.  And change 2 does not seem to be documented in the
commit message.

This patch does the following:
 1. Undo changes 1 and 2
 2. Add a comment explaining change 3 (it very useful to have comments
    in _code_, not only in the commit).

connector: create connector workqueue only while needed once

The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback.  If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.

This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.

But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.

So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once.  The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.

The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.

Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.

Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

sparc64: Validate kernel generated fault addresses on sparc64.

In order to handle all of the cases of address calculation overflow
properly, we run sparc 32-bit processes in "address masking" mode
when running on a 64-bit kernel.

Address masking mode zeros out the top 32-bits of the address
calculated for every load and store instruction.

However, when we're in privileged mode we have to run with that
address masking mode disabled even when accessing userspace from
the kernel.

To "simulate" the address masking mode we clear the top-bits by
hand for 32-bit processes in the fault handler.

It is the responsibility of code in the compat layer to properly
zero extend addresses used to access userspace.  If this isn't
followed properly we can get into a fault loop.

Say that the user address is 0xf0000000 but for whatever reason
the kernel code sign extends this to 64-bit, and then the kernel
tries to access the result.

In such a case we'll fault on address 0xfffffffff0000000 but the fault
handler will process that fault as if it were to address 0xf0000000.
We'll loop faulting forever because the fault never gets satisfied.

So add a check specifically for this case, when the kernel is faulting
on a user address access and the addresses don't match up.

This code path is sufficiently slow path, and this bug is sufficiently
painful to diagnose, that this kind of bug check is warranted.

Evidence of processing timer interrupts is what the NMI watchdog

On Niagara, we'll yield the cpu.  This will make the cpu, at
worst, hang out in the hypervisor until an interrupt arrives.
This will prevent the NMI watchdog timer from firing.

dev->ering is about to be used to track probing failures so it needs
to remain persistent over multiple porbing events.  This patch
achieves this by doing the following.

* Instead of CLEAR_OFFSET, define CLEAR_BEGIN and CLEAR_END and only
  clear between BEGIN and END.  ering is moved after END.  The split
  of persistent area is to allow hotter items remain at the head.

* ering is explicitly cleared on ata_dev_disable() and when device
  attach succeeds.  So, ering is persistent throug a device's life
  time (unless explicitly cleared of course) and also through periods
  inbetween disablement of an attached device and successful detection
  of the next one.

sata_down_spd_limit() should check whether the link is online before

out onlineness test and test it from sata_down_spd_limit().

libata: fix EH device failure handling

The dev->pio_mode > XFER_PIO_0 test is there to avoid unnecessary
speed down warning messages but it accidentally disabled SATA link spd
down during configuration phase after reset where PIO mode is always
zero.

This patch fixes the problem by moving the test where it belongs.
This makes libata probing sequence behave better when the connection
is flaky at higher link speeds which isn't too uncommon for eSATA
devices.
